The story begins with Statler and Waldorf looking over the show's playbill, and are disgusted by the new acts, like "Orville Twang And His Kung-Fu Owls". They remember some of the older, and better, acts. Meanwhile, backstage, it is revealed that one of Statler and Waldorf's favorite old acts, Calistoga And The Fandango Pharaohs, is going to be on the show that night. Miss Piggy gets hypnotized by Calistoga Cleo into believing she is old. When Miss Piggy asks Fozzie how she looks, Fozzie mentions a wrinkle, and gets tossed onstage.
After a few bad jokes and the usual heckling, Fozzie gets offstage for Calistoga Cleo and the Pharaohs. When Statler and Waldorf realize this, they apologize to Fozzie. At the end of Cleo's act, Statler and Waldorf are nowhere to be found. It is revealed that they are trying to meet Cleo, but they each attempt to make fools of each other before Cleo's manager, Mrs. Keppel. Statler finally gets to meet Cleo, but is interrupted by Mrs. Keppel, who brings Waldorf in. Meanwhile, Miss Piggy talks to Kermit about age, and accidentally pushes him down a flight of stairs. Outside, Scooter notices Statler and Waldorf talking about Cleo, and realizes they are about to duel over her.
Backstage, Kermit is in a wheelchair for three weeks, and the duel for Calistoga Cleo is about to kick off. At the very end, Cleo chooses Pops over both Statler and Waldorf. Later, in Cleo's dressing room, Statler and Waldorf discover that Cleo is 126 years old next month, and has been using Formalde-Hide skin cream. As they exit Cleo's dressing room, they discuss Mrs. Keppel. In the last panel, they begin to fight over her.
